I love the expression on that Spike! About time we got one with, well any expression! He has sort of the cocky smirk, or the tough sort of puckered lips look he does... it works for both of those classic looks depending on how you look at it. Definitely my favorite Spike head sculpt ever!

I much prefer the look of the male deluxe figures as the joints dont look so spazzed as the buffy/faiths/willows.
I do like the deluxe figures but these males ones look less super deluxe than the huge ball joints of buffy/faith and the chosen willows.(not that I dislike them).
Ill definately be getting school hard spike/destiny spike/50's angel.

The BCC is processing all orders for the Deluxe figures next week. I can't wait until they do, I want these amazing figures so bad.

Well, today I got Destiny Spike/Angel, Doomed/S&S Spike/Angel, and School Hard Spike...Ive been waiting for these figures since each character debuted on Buffy, and Ive got to say, I couldnt be more happy with the way they turned out. I ordered them from Amazing Toyz, and I would definatly recomend ordering from them if you are looking to get these. My favorite is probably School Hard Spike, he just looks amazing. However, Id be lying if I said I didnt love all of these figures. The only thing that dissapoints me are the extra arms for Spike/Angel. Spikes are too glossy, like his duster...and the pegs on Angels shirt arms are too small, and pop out very easily. Dont let that effect your choice to get them though, these might be the best figures that DST has produced, at least in my eyes.

I just got my first Deluxes, "Bad Girls" Faith and "School Hard" Spike, at the Slayercon yesterday. I haven't opened Spike yet, but Faith is just awesome! (Wrong topic for that, I know.) I am floored with how awesome the Deluxes look! My only complaint with the Spike is the boots aren't the right ones, and the buttons and button holes are absent from his red shirt. His paint apps are immaculate though, even the fingernails. I can't wait to rip him out of that package...!

Are the Hawaiin Spike and SH Spike heads the same? Can they be interchanged? Which is best?

Yeah theyre the same head sculpt, but School Hards is painted with a little more of a smirk to it..And yes, all the heads are ball jointed, so they can be swapped very easily.

I guess the best Angel head, it's the vampire head from Destiny, the human faces looks really off, especially the hair.

I just got the Spike-in-long-leather-coat figure, and it is great! The face is a little too narrow but the likeness is great from the side, particularly the figure's left side. The hands are a bit slender. But all in all this figure is going to go great with the old Mac Short Haired Buffy figure.

I just got a shipping notice from the BCC for some figures. I'm just not sure which ones. The weight is only 3 lbs, which should generally mean 3 figures. Although why would they only ship 3 figures and which 3 would they pic. I emailed Kevin from T&ST to ask him which figures were shipped, so if he doesn't email me back the answer than I guess that I will have to wait until I get them tomorrow. He did say that they just got 50's Angel and they were still waiting on more figures to arrive Tuesday, and that they would ship them as they arrived.

I got a shipping notice too and it said one item at 2lbs. This means that the Hawaiian two pack is shipping already. I saw them at SDCC and was wondering how long would BCC get them. This means those who ordered their Primeval Buffy from BCC should be getting them soon.

I keep thinking that if they just got 50's "Are You Now or Have You Ever Been" Angel, they brought "School Hard" Spike back from the show and if they count the Hawaiin 2 pack as 1 figure, than that means that I will get the variants before I even get the regular "Destiny" Figures and the Chases, which I am hoping will ship tomorrow. I hope that I can borrow my sisters camera to take pictures of all of them.

Jinx, they look great, now about likeness, can you take some pics of hawaiian Angel face, is his likeness good?. It looks like hawaiian spike is shorter than Angel, very interesting.

Thanks for the pics Jinxieman. Are Hawiin Spikes arms removible? I wonder why DST used those sleeves for Destiny Spikes t-shirt when they should have painted the bare arms black to the mid-bicep. It would have been more episode specific.

Now I want them even more. Thanks for the pics Jinxieman. My comic shops officially said they won't get these so now, I have to resort to ebay to get them. although the shops have pre-ordered Puppet Spike. Yeah! (sarcasm) Well, that was my little rant. I have to get these figures though. Hawaiin Spike looks much better witht the muscle shirt on the baggy Hawaiin shirt. -John
